best classic jap

I know. I dropped mine a couple of times. Not slung it up the road sort
of dropped it, just let it get too far over while maneuvering.

 

ferfuxake, Lozzo, use tinyurl or something.

 

Austin Shackles says...

No

 

No. MZ developed the disc valve and the expansion chamber.

 

Also built the first Wankel engined motorcycle (1965 IIRC) but it didn't
go into large scale production.

and a neat extra piston to act as a supercharger, ISTR.

 

Oh FFS, can't any of you work google?

hehehehe

mind, tinyurl is useful from more than google. what's really cunning is
that if 2 people try to link to the same place, they get the same code, so
it looks up whether it'sa already got one before assigning it.

 

though it occurs to me I'm not sure they actually invented that, but they
made one that worked.

 

Yes, MZ were also the first to use disk valves, however Velocette,
used reed valves in the Viceroy. Of course the first two stroke which
used a valve (rotary) was Scott before WW1 (1910 IIRC).

DKW are credited with that. They built blown split-single two stroke
racers before WW2. In the case of MZ there was two lines of
development, the road-racers using disk valve and the scramblers. I
seem to remember them using reed valves on the scrambler engine.
